Botox: The Truth About Botox Injections: An Introductory Guide to Botulinum Toxin Procedures, Costs, Options, And What You Must Know Paperback – August 5, 2015

I chose 5 stars because throughout the book the author offered valuable information about botox, including its history, without trying to sway the reader one way or another. It is a short read but within those pages, all of my questions were answered. I have had botox but administered ONLY by a board certified plastic surgeon. Anyone who, in my opinion, goes to a nurse at a med spa, to save a few bucks is very foolish. I have seen many botched botox jobs of friends especially heavy eyelids instead of lifted fresh eyes by the misplacement of the needle by the slightest margin. Always these disappointing results from a facility where an MD only oversees and reaps financial benefits. This is mentioned in this book. Plastic surgeons know the muscular/facial construction better than anyone. It's all where you place that injection. Botox itself is so affordable - why go anywhere but to the highest trained individual?This book will at least make you think and be a smart consumer. The end result should be a good surprise not a nightmare!

You can read this book in about 20 minutes doesn't really say anything helpful

I have had many friends over the years that have used botox and some with pretty disastrous consequences. My Dermatologist's office has actually started doing this procedure and I have still been intrigued about it as I know that, when done right, it can be beneficial and safe. Author Arnold Hendrix has written a very thorough guide to botox that answers a lot of the questions that I have had. He talks about the injections themselves, the science behind the procedure, the pros and cons, and possible alternatives if you decide that botox isn't for you. Great guide.

The information contained in this book was extremely basic. I’m a new injector and was looking for so much more than what was offered. This would be good for a quick read for a client while waiting in the lobby but not for a practitioner.

The price would have been informative for the readers. Otherwise, it was a good read. Helpful book in Botox! Thanks.

If you have questions in regards to botox, where it came from, uses, pros and cons, etc...this is the book to read. It is only a little over 70 pages in length, which was nice. Was able to read and finish the book this morning over a cup of coffee. The book was very informative about botox and its effects. It also gives some great advice of what to look for when thinking about getting botox.
